From User Experience to Player Experience

I’m a graphic and UX designer with over 12 years of experience creating user-centered designs for web and mobile platforms. Now transitioning into the game industry, I aim to combine my UX expertise and visual storytelling skills to craft immersive player experiences. Trained in Unreal Engine and game-focused UX/UI design, I bring a solid understanding of how gameplay and interface design connect.
